    Only a few days left!!! We start voting next Tuesday!

    please go over the list and see what you've missed!!!

    Bears, for example, only just remembered that they haven't nominated one of their favorites ever, namely,

    The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    How many can I second or third?
    It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
    A whole lot more than riches and muscle.

    The hands of the many must join as one.
    And together we'll cross the river.
